Flat Racing > Thursday 7th February

[Aidymac]

*Onceuponatime > Wolverhampton 8:05 > WIN @ 7/1 Bet365 BOG* A course and distance winner twice here, and with Robert Tart, a very good young apprentice on board claiming 7, this horse is thrown in. It's last win here at Wolver came off a mark of 70 in 2010, but tomorrow runs off 50, minus the claim, so is effectively 27 pounds lower than that run. Showed promise here three runs back when a very close third, and it just has to go close tomorrow, or I am gonna ride a pig to try get some luck.

Re: Flat Racing > Thursday 7th February 5.35 Wolverhampton No shortage of pace in this race with Dhhamaa and Amosite both likely to want to be on the front end with Bussa and Aragon Rouge likely to also push the pace, this should set this race up for the closers in my opinion. Hierarch isnt the easiest to win with and has been racing in less competitive races than this recently and will need to step up on recent efforts and this mark looks high enough. Amosite faces competition for lead and wide draw tricky. Haywain is the least exposed but not sure a drop in trip is the answer given his run last time out having looked very one paced, booking of Graham Lee is an obvious plus and stable going well certainly an interesting one but would be more interested over further. Bussa has finished runner up last 3 starts and has edged up another 2lb since last run and that race hasnt worked out great neither and handicapper might just hold him for now. Aragorn Rouge is a tricky customer to catch right, he has proved largely consistent over further and not sure a drop in trip is required, draw also unkind for a prominent runner. Lieutenant Dan managed to get a win last time out a 4lb rise looks to have his cards marked given he has been held off similar marks in the past. For me Hawk Moth must have a chance in this race, it should be run to suit he likes to track a strong pace and ran a much more encouraging race last time out when coming through from off the pace to finish 4th. Dropped a further lb and has now dropped 2lb below last winning mark and return to this trip should see him in much better light. 2pt win Hawk Moth 5/1 boyles
